The lights in her quarters turned on, it was automatic, done by the ships computer in preparation for her ending her duty shift. The dim light illuminated the petite form curled up on the bed.

After she left sickbay, Kathryn had headed up to the bridge, but the doctor had already told Chakotay's and Tuvok she was on 24hours medical leave. In a way she was glad that she didn't have to deal with being Captain Janeway today but she also knew she was best at coping with things like this if she worked.

For a few hours she had roamed around the ship trying to find something she could do, she eventually returned to her quarters after realising she was making the crew who passed her in the corridors uneasy.

Now she lay on her bed with silent tears running down her cheeks. This wasn't meant to be happening. She was supposed to have gone to the doctor, listened to one of his lectures, got some painkillers and returned to duty. She wasn't meant to be told her time was running out.

*He's wrong, His holo-images are wrong* Kathryn's brain interjected. *There must have been a malfunction*

Part of Kathryn knew she was just trying to deny the truth but her brain and her thoughts became more powerful and she soon found herself believing them.

*All you need to do is get the doctor to repeat the scans using another holo-imager* To Kathryn this sounded like a good plan.
